Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza:
Playlist
from January 24, 2018

A live, improvised sound collage experiment, going back 24 years, weaving mesmerizing new soundscapes from found and collected materials right in the present moment.
Pop music, speeches, live phone calls and spontaneous monologues become ambient loopy layered threads riding the liminal spaces between waking and dreaming.
(Visit homepage.)

Two classics this week:
1) The politico-hilarity of "Children's Television Voteshop (Behavior Modification)"
2) A just-newly discovered lost episode (show #336) from the vault! Now entitled: "A Carousel Ride after Too Much Soup"

"Thanks Kenzo, this was a great find, so I guess you had to lose it first"
"I'm glad you found this show, it's a gem"
"emotionally communicative, a very incredible sound brought me beyond previous limits!"

The electoral college will have the final voice, 'cause people helping other people is what this world's about. Kids, a Christian Coalition education critique, vote fraud, The Marx Brothers, Barney, and horror movies. You can always count on a police officer whenever you need help.Original playlist/source listing

@Kenzo: when reading the show's comments column ("The electoral college will have the final voice...")

Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):
Speaking of which, much of Black Swan was good/harrowing. It veers off later in the film with the introduction of an annoying character. But wonderfully claustrophobic otherwise.

Speaking of formats, someone I know will soon release a project including software that takes a WAV file and spit outs what MP3 removes: github.com...
A bit gimmicky, but funny to hear what got discarded

Of course the first thing I did was feed its output into it and hear what happened along iterations. Sadly, it gets silent quickly (especially with voice, less so with percussion or pipa, the strong attacks MP3 squashes)

Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):
This second hour is at least WAV->128k MP3. First hour was 128k MP3->128k MP3.

@coelecanth Hi! You have a new animal face I see. For the year of the dog? Pity the year of the fossil is outré.

Stuck in a meeting! Last Hello to Kenzo and everlasters.

Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):
@Carmichael: Welcome! This was a great pair today, you might want to listen to in the archive. One of my favorites in the first hour, and then one I've maybe never heard until now, which turns out to be a rich one.
